Digital Gift Cards: The Gift Of Self-Care

 

Self-care is an aspect of life people often need to be reminded about. Offering any type of gift card is just like offering money that can only be spent in one specific store. This is the beauty behind offering a gift card from a salon : the recipient can only spend the pre-determined amount on him/herself. Offering a digital gift card from Sway Nails & Spa is literally offering unescapable self-care, which inevitably leads to self-love, as a gift. We know all too well that life is a rollercoaster of emotions. Whatever the occasion or the emotional phase of the recipient, self-love is always the perfect gift.


The Difference Between A Gift Certificate And A Digital Gift Card

The difference between gift certificates and digital gift cards is that, unlike physical gift certificates which are easily lost or stolen, digital gift cards are secure and convenient.  

Purchasing a digital gift card creates a unique code. The buyer can have this code emailed to him/herself and forward it to a loved one at the perfect time, or have the code emailed directly to them upon purchase.  

The gift card recipient can redeem the amount associated to this unique code when checking out, to subtract the digital gift card’s value from their order total.  

 

Do I Pay Tax On A Gift Card?

In Ontario, the law prevents stores from charging taxes on the purchase price of a gift card. For this reason, taxes are charged at checkout when the gift card is redeemed and the money is actually being spent.

 

Do Gift Cards Expire?

The validity period of a physical or digital gift card is determined by the store selling it. At Sway Nails & Spa, our gift cards range from $25 to $500 and they never expire.

 

Recap

Finding the perfect gift for someone can be quite an extensive task, especially when procrastinating until the last minute. A digital gift card from Sway Nails & Spa is a way to treat a loved one to a soothing and memorable pampering experience. The recipient has the freedom of choosing the date and time of the appointments, as well as the services he/she wishes to treat him/herself to. And the best part? You can offer all of the above from the comfort of your home!
